when he perceived that they were rich in
vegetable oil.
Learning chat the plants grew with
very little attention7and produced q large
quantity Of seed which could be easily
beaten out from the balls, the idea occur
red to him that possibly the plant might
some day hold a prominent commercial
position as an oil-producer, thus serving
a double purpose during the period of its
existence. Acting upon this thought
Mr.. Pease two years G produced a
quantity of seed and extracted therefronl
the oil for experimental purposes. 1t
was found to he equal to the best linseed
oil for all purposes but in its qualities
more closely akin to the poppy-seed oil.
1t does not solidify, and shows disposi-
ton to acidulate.
A two years test has demonstrated that
it has a commercial value as an oil equal
to linseed oil, This raises the question
as to whether it can be manufactured
profitable The linseed oil cake which
comes from the compress after. the oil has
been extracted is a valuable commercial
product. The residrum of the honey bee
plant seed possesses qualities SO closely
allied to quinine that the taste and after
effects are apparently almost Identical
with those of the costly drug.
To determine the full value of his dis
| covery, Mr.. Pease will go to New York
| this week, accompanied by Mrs. Pease,
to attend the meeting OF the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science. Mrs. Pease will read a paper in
the botanical section upon the honey bee
| plant, while the oil itself and the bitter
residuum left after the extraction will be
brought to the attention of the chemical
section by Mr.. Paase. Each plant bears
something like thirty balls.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 10.-Ex-P Premier
Gibson, of Hawaii, explained to a re-
porter what he meant by saying recently
that the United States would not be
pleased by the turn which affairs have
taken in that country. He said the con
test between Mileteo and Tamasaso for
the sovereignty of Samoa, the former
being ~reorganized by the United States
and the latter by Germany, has led to a
conference at Washington between the
German, British and American rep
resentatipes. Germany desired to take
q harbor and to awe England and
America each take one. Mr.. Gibson
believed the position taken by the Uni
ted States was that the autonomy and
self-government of Polynesia should be
preserved. Hawaii had made overtures
to Samoa for a confederation and the
United States favored this move but the
revolution at Honolulu spoiled the plan,
and Samoa was in danger of falling I'M:

and stands highest incondition. 1t is too
early to obtain results OF threshing to
make a report on winter wheat. The
condition last month indicates a crop
slightly under the average. There is q
great reduction in the condition of pota-
toes since July first, almost en-.

drought. No material decline in the At

DETROIT, Aug. 10.-Justice Patton
in Detroit Saturday married q young
German couple named John Schweibach
and Louisa Arndt. Monday they came
around to him to get a divorce, It4was
not q case of incompatibility of temper,
failure to support, or to perform any
other family duties. The facts were
simply that after taking his bride to his
home Saturday evening the young man
found a letter from his parents in Germ
any commanding him to come home and
sui charge of their affairs. 1t would
be much to his advantage to accept, and
he preached the subject to his new wife,
who referred the matter to her parents,
who in turn absolutely forbade her going
back to the old country. So they agreed
to separate, without having actually be-
come man and wife, though they were
legally SO fast enough. This they found
ont when they asked Justice Patton to
undo what he had done Saturday. He
said, of course, it was impossible for him
to do SO, and they went away to see the
old folks and determine on a course OF
action.

.lsa.l#
HEKMosILLA, Sonora, Aug. l0.-An-
ether American has met his fate in
Sonora. Frank O'Brien suffered the ex-
treme penalty of the Mexican law. He
received nine shots, five in the chest, two
in the shoulders, one in the left e, e, with
4 finishing bullet through the head by the
lieutenant in command.
This penalty was for the cold-blooded
murder of his travelling companion, about
two years ago. 1t seems that O'Brien
vas tramping through Sonora, having a
pack, and bound, as he said, for the
Trinidad mines, when this stranger,
said to be from Wisconsin, overlook him
and kindly gave him a ride. When they
arrived at point about three
miles from the little town of San Juanica
they went into camp, and during the
night O'Brien took an ak and split open
the head OF his companion, dragged the
body across the road a short distance and
threw it into an arroyo, covering it up
with sand. he then took the team and
other effects, goods, money and some
drafts on a Chicago bank and left for
Torres Station on the Lonora road. There
he sold the team and went to Guaymas,
where he tried to dispose of one of the
drafts.
United States Consul Willard sent one
of the drafts to Chicago, but there it vas
detected, IL not bearing the proper sigma
ture, although the name was all right.
This led to an investigation, and soon
O'Brien was In durance vile. Some
Mexicans found the body In the arroya,
and others had seen them travelling to-
gether, The selling of the team and eff
tects, the draft and other circumstances
proved conclusively that a terrible crime
had been committed, and that Frank
O'Brien was the fiend that committed it.
"A person who was present at the exc
cution said that O'Brien died without a
murmur. His hands were tied behind
his back, but at his request he was
not blindfolded. He was a man about
45 years OF age, and was well known in
Arizona and California. Little is known
of his victim except that he was in
Sonora for the purpose of purchasing cat.
tie. Little sympathy is expressed by
American residentsin Sonora for O'Brien,
for the reason that he is believed t O have
been a hard character and a troublesome
man, as well as a detriment to all Amer
leans engaged in mining in that country.
He made a partial confession before be.
ing shot, but was sullen and insolent tx
the last.

Reported Changes in the Management Of
the Union Pacific.

LEI4rr
CHICAGO, Aug. lot is reported that
a complete change in the traffic depart
ments Of the Union Pacific railway Is
about to be made. General Passenger
Agent j. w. Morse aud General Ticket
Agent e.. Stebbins, it is said, will step
down and out, and the General Western.
Freight Agennt, r. p. Shelby is also to
be relieved. General Traffic Manager z.
j. Kimball is also among those who are
said to be marked for decapitation.
While there is hardly q doubt that the
report SO far as the retirement of Messrs.
Morse. Stebbins, inc Shelby are con-
cerned Is correct, 1T is the general opin-
ion among railroad officials here that
there is some mistake as regards the re-
ported retirement of Mr.. Kimbal from
the Union Pacific. Mr.. Kimball is con-
sidered n of the ablest traffic
In the country, and the Onion Pacific
cannot we'll afford to lose his valuable
services. He has been with the road for
more than a quarter of q century, and has
always enjoyed the full confidence of the
owners OF the property. Vice-President
Potter is known to be friendly to him,
and has always looked upon him as one
OF the best traffic managers in the
contry. 1t is wsll.known fact that a
few years ago. when Mr.. Potter was the
general manager of the Chicago, Bari
ington g. Quincy, he made a strong eff
fort to secure the services of Mr.. Kimball
as general traffic manager of that road.
but Mr.. Kimball could not be induced to
sever his connection with the Union Pa
cifc. The opinion prevails that while
Mr.. Kimball may retire from the posi-
ton of general traffic manager SO as to
allow of a complete reorganization of the
traffic department OF the company, he
will not retire from its service, but will
continue TO serve it In a higher and more
important capacity. Report has it that
he is to be promoted to the position OF
assistant general manager 50 as to relieve
Mr.. Potter from a portion of his work, and
it is quite likely that this is correct. The
report that Mr.. j. A. Monroe, general
freight agent, is also to take charge Of
the passenger department. Is no doubt in
correct. Mr.. Monroe is q very able
freight man, but has no experience in
passenger affairs; besides, it is unlikely
that the freight and passenger affairs 81
